NME Awards nominations deadline extended

The deadline for entries to the fifth annual NME Innovation Awards has been extended to April 12

The deadline for entries to the fifth annual NME Innovation Awards has been extended to April 12, following a strong response from entrants across the Middle East.

Entries have continued to pour in across all 18 categories, and the extended deadline will allow more of the regional community to submit nominations for judging.

The NME Innovation Awards 2009 ceremony will be held on May 4, 2009 at the Mina A'Salam hotel in Dubai.

As in previous years, we want to hear about the best the Middle East has to offer, in terms of individuals, vendors - and most importantly in terms of networking projects.

The 18 categories in this year's awards cover implementations, vendor offerings and key individuals and organisations in the regional networking community.

A team of expert judges will pick the winners across the categories.

This extension has been provided for more members of the regional networking industry in the region to submit their success stories.

To make these awards a success, we need to hear from you - what were the key technologies that rocked your world? Which vendor or integrator gave the best support? And what were the most successful implementations of the past 12 months?
